आत्मनात्मनि शान्तैव चिच्चमत्कुरुते चिति ।
चित्प्रस्पन्दो हि संसारस्तदस्पन्दः परं पदम् ॥ २१ ॥

ātmanātmani śāntaiva ciccamatkurute citi |
citpraspando hi saṃsārastadaspandaḥ paraṃ padam || 21 ||

The intellect which of itself is tranquil in itself (i.e. in its own nature), acts its wonders in itself (i.e. displays or developes itself in the very intellect); it is the pulsation of intellect which displays the universe, as its vivarta or development, and this pulsation is the Omnipotence of God.
